Learn how to install and configure your Pedal Commander throttle controller for Holden Commodore VE, VF, and ZB models. Step-by-step guide with tips.

Quick Answer

Install your Pedal Commander for Holden Commodore in under 15 minutes by plugging it between the accelerator pedal and vehicle harness, then select your model during setup.

Why the Pedal Commander Works for Your Commodore

The Pedal Commander is designed to eliminate the factory throttle lag common in modern vehicles, giving you instant response when you press the accelerator. For Holden Commodore owners, this means a more connected driving experience whether you're cruising in a V6 or pushing a V8.

Model Compatibility Notes

The Pedal Commander for Holden Commodore supports VE (2006-2013), VF (2013-2017), and ZB (2018-2020) generations across all trim levels including Sedan, Wagon, Ute, and performance variants. Engine options range from 3.0L V6 to 7.0L V8, plus the 2.0L turbo and Multijet Diesel in ZB models. The device uses a single universal connector, but you must select your exact model during initial setup to ensure correct calibration.

Installation Steps

1. Locate the accelerator pedal connector: Under the dashboard, find the electrical connector attached to the accelerator pedal. It is typically a rectangular plug with a locking tab. Do not remove the pedal itself. Common mistake: pulling on wires instead of the connector tab. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently release the lock if needed.
2. Unplug the factory connector: Press the locking tab and pull the connector straight out from the pedal. Keep the connector clean and avoid touching the pins. Checkpoint: if the connector feels stuck, wiggle gently side to side—never force it.
3. Connect the Pedal Commander in-line: Plug the Pedal Commander module between the pedal connector and the vehicle harness. The module has a male and female end—match the shapes. Ensure both sides click fully into place. Common mistake: reversing the module ends. The arrow on the module should point toward the vehicle harness.
4. Secure the module and reroute cables: Use the included zip ties to attach the module to a nearby wire bundle or bracket. Ensure no cables interfere with the pedal movement or get pinched by moving parts. Checkpoint: test pedal travel through full range before finalizing cable routing.
5. Select your Holden Commodore model on the display: Turn the ignition to ON (do not start the engine). The Pedal Commander screen will prompt you to choose your vehicle. Use the buttons to scroll to your specific Commodore generation (VE, VF, or ZB) and confirm. Common mistake: selecting the wrong generation. Double-check your Commodore's year and engine type before confirming.
6. Calibrate and test: Follow the on-screen calibration: press the accelerator fully to the floor, then release. Start the engine and test response in a safe area. Adjust settings using the mode button as desired. Checkpoint: if the throttle feels unresponsive, repeat calibration or verify your model selection.
